Entertainment Tonight, Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 9:30am (PST)

Earlier today, Chris Brown told Mojo in the Morning: "My hat is off to [Tiger Woods] -- I support him." The singer even drew a comparison between himself and the embattled sports icon, saying they both deserve a break!

Both stars have had an image crisis after being involved in shocking scandals, Brown for beating then girlfriend Rihanna and Woods for a bizarre accident that was never explained as news broke he had numerous affairs on his wife.

"Whatever his personal life is -- and I think this goes for me and him -- his personal life is his personal life," the singer said on Mojo in the Morning. "I do music, I sing songs, like, I'm an entertainer, I'm a performer, but people make mistakes," he added. "So my hat is off to him, I support him, I hope he gets back on the field and does his thing, cause he is the best at it."

Brown is currently serving five years of probation because of his assault on Rihanna.
